  • Closed acquisition of Life Molecular Imaging in July, immediately expanding near- and long-term growth profile and commercial portfolio with Neuraceq® (florbetaben F 18 injection), a globally approved beta-amyloid targeted radiodiagnostic for Alzheimer's disease; FDA label expansion for Neuraceq in June

  • Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $400 million of Lantheus common stock, replacing the 12-month program announced in November 2024

BEDFORD, Mass., Aug. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lantheus Holdings, Inc. (Lantheus or the Company) (NASDAQ: LNTH), the leading radiopharmaceutical-focused company committed to enabling clinicians to Find, Fight and Follow disease to deliver better patient outcomes, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

“In the second quarter and the month thereafter, we completed the acquisitions of both Evergreen Theragnostics and Life Molecular Imaging – key steps in executing our strategy to expand capabilities across the radiopharmaceutical value chain, diversify revenue, including with Neuraceq, and drive future growth. At the same time, we navigated increased competition in the PSMA PET landscape, which impacted PYLARIFY performance. We are taking actions to reinforce PYLARIFY’s clinical differentiation and support the value of our PSMA PET franchise,” said Brian Markison, CEO. “Today, we announced the FDA has accepted our NDA for a new PSMA PET formulation and the Board authorized a new $400 million stock repurchase program, which reflects our confidence in our long-term strategy to deliver value for our business, patients, and shareholders.”

Recent Business Highlights

Business Development Updates

  • In July, the Company announced the completion of the acquisition of Life Molecular Imaging, a global radiopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing and offering novel cutting-edge radiopharmaceuticals that improve early detection and characterization of chronic and life-threatening diseases. Through the transaction, Lantheus acquired Neuraceq, a globally approved beta-amyloid targeted radiodiagnostic for Alzheimer’s disease, as well as an international commercial footprint and infrastructure.

  • In June, the FDA approved an updated label for Neuraceq, expanding the clinical indication to include the use in both diagnostic assessment and identification of appropriate candidates for FDA-approved amyloid-targeting therapies. The expanded label also includes the utilization of quantitative amyloid plaque metrics in conjunction with visual image interpretation and broader use for monitoring of therapy and following progression to Alzheimer's disease.

  • In May, the Company announced an agreement to sell its SPECT business to Illuminated Holdings, Inc., the parent company of SHINE Technologies, LLC (“SHINE”). The transaction allows Lantheus to focus on growing its commercial portfolio of innovative PET radiodiagnostics and microbubbles, while advancing its pipeline of radiopharmaceuticals. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the year, subject to customary closing conditions. 

  • In April, the Company announced the completion of the acquisition of Evergreen, a clinical-stage radiopharmaceutical company based in New Jersey. Through the transaction, Lantheus acquired OCTEVY™, a registrational-stage PET imaging agent targeting neuroendocrine tumors, which complements Lantheus’ therapeutic candidate PNT2003, and also acquired a portfolio of clinical and pre-clinical theranostic pairs. The acquisition also advances Lantheus’ capabilities with the addition of Evergreen’s radioligand therapy manufacturing infrastructure, including a revenue-generating CDMO business. 

Radiopharmaceutical Pipeline Updates

  • This morning, the Company announced FDA acceptance of a new drug application (“NDA”) for a new formulation of piflufolastat F 18 PSMA PET imaging agent. The new formulation will increase batch size by ~50%, which would allow Lantheus to serve significantly more patients while maintaining the same high standards that has made PYLARIFY the trusted choice for providers.

  • In April, the Company announced that MK-6240, its next-generation tau imaging agent, met its primary endpoints in two pivotal clinical studies assessing the investigational asset’s sensitivity and specificity. The Company plans to submit an NDA to the FDA in the third quarter of 2025.  

Other Key Updates

Full Year 2025 Updated Corporate Financial Guidance

  Guidance Issued August 6, 2025   Guidance Issued May 7, 2025
FY 2025 Revenue $1.475 billion - $1.51 billion   $1.550 billion - $1.585 billion
FY 2025 Adjusted fully diluted EPS $5.50 - $5.70   $6.60 - $6.70
       

On a forward-looking basis, the Company does not provide GAAP income per common share guidance or a reconciliation of GAAP income per common share to adjusted fully diluted EPS because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty business development and acquisition related expenses, purchase accounting fair value adjustments, and any one-time, non-recurring charges. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to results computed in accordance with GAAP. As a result, it is the Company’s view that a quantitative reconciliation of adjusted fully diluted EPS on a forward-looking basis is not available without unreasonable effort.  

Conference Call and Webcast

As previously announced, the Company will host a conference call and webcast on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. ET. To access the conference call or webcast, participants should register online at https://investor.lantheus.com/news-events/calendar-of-events

A replay will be available approximately two hours after completion of the webcast and will be archived on the same web page for at least 30 days.

Internet Posting of Information

The Company routinely posts information that may be important to investors in the “Investors” section of its website at www.lantheus.com. The Company encourages investors and potential investors to consult its website regularly for important information about the Company. 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted net income and its line components; adjusted net income per share - fully diluted; adjusted operating income, and free cash flow. The Company’s management believes that the presentation of these measures provides useful information to investors. These measures may assist investors in evaluating the Company’s operations, period over period. However, these measures may exclude items that may be highly variable, difficult to predict and of a size that could have a substantial impact on the Company’s reported results of operations for a particular period. Management uses these and other non-GAAP measures internally for evaluation of the performance of the business, including the evaluation of results relative to employee performance compensation targets. Investors should consider these non-GAAP measures only as a supplement to, not as a substitute for or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
